This book provides 36 stories and anecdotes about people whose lives were improved by eating the right foods, or whose lives got worse by easing the wrong things. As you will see, the book makes some unusual recommendations. It contends that almost any disease can be prevented by proper diet. Adelle Davis radiated assurance of that by abiding by her precepts - as she herself did that would ward off or cure most personal illnesses. Moreover, in proper diet lay societal well-being. To Davis, Alcoholism, crime, insanity, suicide, divorce, drug addiction and even impotency are often merely the results of bad eating Davis benefited from and contributed to the phenomenal growth, from the 1950s onward, of the health food movement, which thrived on publicity about pesticide residues and food additives.
